Blooming
Marvelous . . . was the bus trip on Friday Nov 4th. There
were 30 intrepid explorers, a cool clear day and a well organised
itinerary, thanks to Tilly.
The
Australia Gardens at Cranbourne is at it’s floral peak in mid
spring and the variety there is mind-bendingly huge!
God’s great creation to enjoy with some planning, design and
horticultural help from the clever Botanical staff there.
On
arrival at the gardens, most of us boarded the ‘tour train’
for a guided introduction to the gardens, which took about 30
minutes, then we were free to explore, lunch, or picnic as we
wished and to meander with much to see and enjoy.
We
boarded the bus for home, taking a scenic route, which included
afternoon tea at Picnic Point, where the Tarago River was running
quite high and fast. Time for a group photo then home to
Warragul Uniting Church.
We
were pleased to discover the bus was able to negotiate the Church
driveway entry (a major concern when the crossover was being
re-constructed earlier this year).
Thank
you to our driver Sue for safe travel. We look forward to
our next bus trip adventure! |
